Macaron Tutorial

Saturday, January 26, 2008

I was going to post a completely different thing this weekend, a dessert inspired by sugar daddy Pierre Herme However, reading the comments from the canneles post on friday I realized that a lot of you had either never had such marvelous little morsels or had tried them a long time ago and were nostalgic about them....So, I came up with a little drawing idea:

I am offering two packages of a dozen each of fresh baked canneles to two gourmands out there. All you have to do is leave a comment to this post and I will draw your name completely at random and ship them to you during the week. To ensure freshness I can only ship within the US and Canada.

Drawing end Monday at 4pm, and the winners will be announced Tuesday or Wednesday. (My mom is coming in town and I might be drowning under chocolate and candy in the meantime)

I can see why you wanted the mold so much, the shape makes them appear so much like macaroons....attractive. Since I am unfamililar with Canneles, would these be served as cookies or with whip cream as in a butter tart?

Oh my goodness, Tartelette, please count me in! They just sounded divine when I read the original post about them earlier today. The chance to have some made by none other than you is just too good of an opportunity to pass up. And it's so generous of you. I hope I win! :)

Oooh, I'd love to enter the drawing, please! Another long time reader first time commentor. I actually was shopping cannelles molds on amazon after your post the other day... I've never tried them, either.

oh wow, i love the canneles from bay bread in san francisco and these ones i had at a bakery in tokyo called viron, but i'd definitely wanna try the ones u've made. i can't wait to try your recipe either! thanx for such a generous offer.

This is simply wonderful of you. My fingers are crossed. I was just telling L. last night how I am in desperate need to go back to Paris for awhile; but, unfortunately, with the new business and all that will not happen this year. This would be the next best thing! My fingers are crossed!!!

Yours is one of my most favorite blogs. I live alone, so my neighbors and co-workers have also come to enjoy your ideas as I have made them. The photos always look so much better than my finished goods. but so far no one has complained! Thanks!

I've never had a cannele! It'd be great to win one so I wouldn't have to try making them in order to taste one! They look scrumptious. That's generous of you to offer to ship them. It's the price of shipping that bugs me.

I remember reading about these recently and they looked so beautiful! I immediately wanted to try my hand at them but refrained out of fear of having to explain another baking purchase to my boyfriend. Trying them before might be enough incentive for him to overlook the purchase of another pan. :)

I have been reading your blog for months now. My sister turned me onto it when I was in Halifax. It's what keeps me going at work. Dreaming about what I can make when I go home. These look amazing except for my lack of moulds.

I fell under the Canneles spell when you posted the first time using cupcake tin. I've made them 6 times since and have been thinking of investing the real molds. It would be fabulous to taste yours and see the real deal!

Oh no I think I missed the draw! :( Ah well. Your tarts are so beautiful. I love how you did the meringue. I have to try that next time! Thanks for your tips you posted on the Daring Bakers' blog - I kept them in mind while baking. :)
